Is undelete available on opensuse? How do i recover some files
that were mistakenly deleted?

Generally if you delete files from Konqueror they end up in the
trash bin, and can be restored, unless you hold the shift key while
pressing the delete key. If you issued a rm filename from hte
command line, I do not know if these can be recovered. AFAIK if
you delete a file from inside an application, it too is toast.

Crap! I ran the rm from the command line and using reiser. Thanks for
the reply


People have been known to replace the "rm" command with a script or
shell procedure that moves the target files to a "trash" directory
instead of deleting them outright.

It still doesn't help with, e.g, and application's "Save as..." function
that overwrites an existing file, but it's something.
